"The metal used in the KL223 mecha was relatively rare, and it was the first time it was used in a mecha," Bai Li handed the mecha fragment in his hand to Lu Zhao, "The project that Situ participated in when he first joined the Imperial Research Institute was the development of this mecha, and I have a lot of feelings for it. The last mecha I drove was seriously damaged and sent for scrapping. Situ found a former colleague at the research institute and removed a piece from it."

Lu Zhao took it, and it was very heavy. Even if it was a small piece, the weight was amazing.

He felt cold as soon as he touched it. Lu Zhao's hand touched the place that Bai Li had touched before, and there was no trace of Bai Li's body temperature left there.

"Look at the color," Bai Li started to talk again, "The feel is amazing, brother, it's your loss that you haven't driven it."

Lu Zhao didn't say anything, letting Bai Li talk to him about the various advantages of the KL223 model. He

didn't ask him, since he had been thinking about everything for so many years, why didn't he dare to keep even a piece of the fragments of the mecha he had driven at home, where he could reach it and see it with his bare eyes, but locked it in a heavy door.

What kind of mood does a person have to be in to not touch the things in the protective cover for so many years when he has the authority to open it.

Lu Zhao looked at the fragments of the mecha in his hand and said, "Indeed. I've always wanted to try it out once."

"This model has been discontinued," Bai Li said with a little regret, "The mecha should be suitable for most people, otherwise the maintenance will be very troublesome. If it is damaged, we have to find specialized personnel to repair it. At that time, KL223 was maintained by Situ and a few others, and the model was too small."

Lu Zhao said lightly, "It's also nice to be able to feel the feeling that only the small group of people have."

Bai Li smiled, with a fragmented blue light in his eyes, as if a handful of the universe was rubbed into him.

"When the mecha of the institute can be successfully developed and put into use, I will embed this piece of wreckage on the first one produced." Bai Li's eyes passed over Lu Zhao's face, and finally stopped at his hand that touched the mecha fragments, "Then drive it home and block the door."

Lu Zhao reacted for several seconds: "You drive a mecha to block the door?" Do you know how big that thing is? Can you block the door?

"Ah," Bai Li said righteously, even proudly, "Guarding the door! The first choice for settling down and guarding the house, it is a must-have for exorcising evil spirits and preventing disasters!"

Lu Zhao couldn't help laughing. If this thing is placed in the main city area of ​​the main star, it can also drive away evil spirits. You, the grandson, will be the first to be driven away!

"I didn't intend to show you this, but I've been thinking about this since I entered the institute today," Bai Li bent a finger and tapped on the mecha fragment held by Lu Zhao, "This is the evidence of why I was chased by tabloid reporters and was in a state of panic. You are the person involved in a new round of panic."

Bai Li patted Lu Zhao's shoulder and then patted his chest: "Brothers in distress."

Even if you can search the entire main planet, you probably won't find a second Bai Li as weird as this. Just like that, he took out the remains of his suffering, stuffed them into Lu Zhao's hand, patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay, brother, we went through this way back then."

The KL223 mecha fragment in Lu Zhao's hand seemed to be Bai Li's treasure a second ago, but now it seems to have become Bai Li's cold joke.

"Fuck," Lu Zhao was very puzzled by Bai Li's brain, "Is this the same thing?"

Bai Li nodded repeatedly: "It's the same thing, some of the reporters who came to block you are my acquaintances."

Lu Zhao: "Acquaintances?"

"Ah, I have scolded them at least ten times. When I see their faces, I can write 800 words of different scoldings," Bai Li was very proud and puffed out his chest, "It's fate, the people who blocked you and me are almost the same group."

It was at this moment that Lu Zhao was still immersed in the grief of the mecha fragment in his hand, otherwise he could turn this fragment into a weapon now.

Is it so funny? Ah? Is it so funny? Lu Zhao didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I was also very upset at that time. Sometimes I felt like the sky was falling. But after a few years, I felt that it was nothing." Bai Li's fingers touched the pits and grooves of the remains one by one, and smiled at Lu Zhao, "It's the same with you. No matter what it is, you will be able to digest it and swallow it after a while."

He didn't say it clearly, but Lu Zhao seemed to know what Bai Li was talking about. Bai Li wanted to tell him that no matter whether it was public opinion or his body damaged after the war, these things would be overcome sooner or later.

Bai Li might have wanted to say these words a long time ago, but he didn't find a reason until today.

Lu Zhao hummed, and imitated Bai Li, curling his fingers and twisting them: "When you mount it on the mecha, remember to call me to come and see." It

was not yet a thing, but when Bai Li said this, Lu Zhao felt that it was a done deal.

Bai Li smiled and said, "Of course."

But he didn't know if Lu Zhao would be willing to come at that time.

The personal terminal rang a few times, and Situ sent a text message to tell Bai Li that the researchers had arrived, and arranged for someone to enter Lu Zhao's various data, and asked Bai Li where he had taken Lu Zhao.

After reading the text message, Bai Li put his personal terminal back and said, "Situ, we're ready. Let's go, happy simulation warehouse."

"This?" Lu Zhao was still holding the fragment of the mecha in his hand. "Put it here?"

Bai Li reached out and took it, and put it on the cylindrical display stand. The transparent protective cover closed automatically. He didn't look at the fragment again, and walked out with Lu Zhao.

The action was so smooth that Lu Zhao took two steps behind him and didn't come back to his senses.

He thought for a long time before he asked tentatively, "You showed me this just for..." He couldn't think of the right words, so he paused, "Say that?"

Bai Li, who was walking in front, looked back at him and said, "I saw that my brother, the major general, was unhappy these days, so I showed you something interesting. In this research institute, I think the only interesting things besides the mechas are the things in this exhibition room."

The two walked for a while and when they were about to reach the sixth research room, Lu Zhao suddenly said, "Don't be like this, Bai Li."

Bai Li didn't understand, "Huh?"

"Don't use the offense you've suffered as a way to comfort me." Lu Zhao looked at him, his voice very low, "If you do this again, I'll beat you up."

Why don't others take you seriously, and don't you take yourself seriously?

Bai Li was stunned, one foot hadn't even landed yet, and he looked at Lu Zhao in a daze.

The latter walked past him and went into the sixth laboratory.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Bai Li felt that Lu Zhao's tone, which was no different from usual, had a hint of anger. This was the first time since they met, that Bai Li felt that he might have offended Lu Zhao.

He watched Lu Zhao walk straight into the sixth laboratory, and soon assistant researchers surrounded him to input data for him. There was no unnecessary expression on Lu Zhao's profile. Bai Li didn't feel that before, but today when Lu Zhao's eyes were not on Bai Li, he actually felt that this profile made him afraid to approach.

When Situ came over, rubbing his eyes that were red from staying up all night and a morning, Bai Li was still standing at the door of the sixth laboratory without going in.

"What are you doing here?" Situ shouted, but Bai Li stood there stupidly like a stone pillar, as if he didn't hear anything. Situ slapped him on the back, "Wake up, Master Bai!"

Bai Li was startled and muttered something.

Situ leaned forward and said, "Louder!"

Then he heard Master Bai mutter a little louder, "I messed up, he seemed angry..."

"What? What?" Situ didn't react. He followed Bai Li's gaze and saw Lu Zhao's back. It took him several seconds to figure out what he meant. "You offended the major general? You're awesome, Bai Li. What happened to you?"

Bai Li said nothing. He covered his mouth with one hand and leaned against the wall. His shoulders drooped. He looked a lot more listless and a little pitiful.

After all, this was a good friend that he had known for so many years. Situ wanted to curse him, but couldn't bear to do it: "Okay, I don't think the major general is angry. Isn't his expression still very normal? If you really have something wrong, just go and apologize..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Bai Li's eyes shining brightly, staring at Lu Zhao like a dog seeing a meaty bone. Bai Li's voice came from under his hand covering his mouth: "But I'm so happy as hell."

The last word trembled with a tremor that was caused by excessive excitement.

Lu Zhao was angry with him because he didn't take him seriously. Lu Zhao was annoyed by this. At first, Bai Li didn't understand it. When he figured it out, he found that the bastard in his heart started to jump again.

Bai Li had to admit that he always kept a certain distance from Lu Zhao, and this distance was a buffer when Lu Zhao left one day. Sometimes Bai Li felt that he was very mean, and he really hoped that Lu Zhao could understand him a little more. He couldn't tell whether he wanted to win Lu Zhao's favor with these things, or simply wanted someone to be closer to him.

Now Bai Li had no time to think about these. When he thought of the reason why Lu Zhao spoke harshly to him, he felt that his brain was filled with bubbles, and each bubble was filled with excitement, exploding and crackling.

Situ looked at Bai Li's face and cursed in disbelief: "Fuck, are you fucking laughing?"

Bai Li laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed.

"Get lost!" The wasted military advisor roared, "You're fucking sick!"

The voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of the researchers in the sixth research room. Lu Zhao also heard the noise and turned to look.

The assistant who was inputting data for him thought it was normal: "It's started again. The leader and the boss have never been at odds." After saying that, he shouted loudly over there. "Teacher Si, get ready. Major General and Mr. Bai can enter the simulation warehouse at the same time!"

Lu Zhao was stunned for a moment. He had heard Bai Li say that there were some mechas under development here, which were unstable and needed constant simulation and adjustment. He thought that at most it was a single person fighting against the machine, but from what the assistant said, it seemed that Bai Li was also participating in the simulation confrontation?

Situ was walking over there, and he didn't know what he had just said to Bai Li. His face was red with anger. Bai Li followed behind him, and his expression management ability was seriously out of balance. Lu Zhao took a look and really couldn't tell what Bai Li's expression meant.

"Major General, let me introduce you to it," Situ softened his tone in front of Lu Zhao, and instructed several researchers to follow. The group passed through the recording research area full of virtual screens and stopped in front of the mecha simulation room. Situ scanned his face and said, "At present, the direction of our research is mainly to improve the control of the mecha by mental power, reduce the burden of the mecha on the human body, and try to replace the connection between the human body and the mecha with mental power." As

soon as he finished speaking, Lu Zhao turned his head almost at the same time and looked at Bai Li.

Reducing the burden on the human body, using mental power instead of human connection means that people with extremely high mental power but slightly weak bodies also have the right to drive mechas.

Bai Li met Lu Zhao's gaze, smiled smugly, and threw him a wink, as if nothing had happened just now.

Several researchers pretended not to see the two people looking at each other, and as soon as the protective door of the mecha simulation room was opened, they each walked to their respective posts.

"I think the major general should know the direction of our research," Situ put the pen he used to write on the virtual screen on his ear and pointed to the side, "We are developing mechas that can be driven by people with weak or disabled bodies. If the development is successful, not only alphas and betas, but also omegas with stable mental strength but weak bodies can gain a place in the field of driving mechas.

" The mecha research room in front of him was not a "room", but more like a large and spacious factory. Several new mecha simulation rooms were connected to the data panels of the researchers. Looking up, he realized that in the dimness, there was a scaled-down model of the earliest imperial mecha. Even after being shrunk, it still looked like a huge monster. The light projected in the air by the huge virtual screen gave these models that once roamed the vast universe a layer of cold light.

On the virtual screen was a three-view image of a mecha that was still under development, with several sets of data recorded next to it, and at the end, the name of the tester, Bai Li, was marked.

Lu Zhao squinted to see that the mecha projected on the virtual screen was painted dark blue.

The same color as the mecha fragments in the display room.

"This is a helmet used to record mental fluctuations. It's a bit ugly, but stable, and it focuses more on data collection than the ones currently in the Imperial Research Institute," Situ picked up two specially made helmets for simulation warehouses and handed them to Lu Zhao and Bai Li one in each hand. "Major General, today you will drive the new mecha commonly used by the Empire to conduct a simulated confrontation with Bai Li."

Lu Zhao picked up the one in front of him and turned his head to see that Bai Li had already picked up the other one.

Someone shouted over there, and Situ made a wait gesture to the two and left. Bai Li put his helmet in his hand, leaned his body and said to Lu Zhao: "I let you see the fragment, so that you can know what I am thinking when you see the mecha developed by the institute."

Lu Zhao looked at the mecha on the virtual screen that looked similar to KL223: "I know."

He said: "You want to go back to the universe."

"I didn't mean to make you angry, I will be more straightforward next time," Bai Li raised his finger in the air and pointed at the mecha on the virtual screen, "I just want to let my brother Major General know that let public opinion and gossip die, our romance will always be mecha and the universe."

Maybe even if

he is standing on the ground, he still has the courage to chase the stars. Lu Zhao didn't know how to respond, but felt that Bai Li's romantic theory was actually a bit touching.

"Xianhua, you may not be able to experience the feeling of the ordinary people driving KL223, but today I will take you to experience the feeling of fighting with the people driving KL223!" Bai Li patted his chest and boasted, and then whispered in Lu Zhao's ear, "Don't exaggerate Li Li, brother Major General?"

Lu Zhao's mouth curled up. He found that he had no temper in front of Bai Li. He pushed Bai Li's head away, but still raised his thumb: "You are really good." No one is better than you.

Bai Li laughed and raised his helmet arrogantly: "Fight?"

Lu Zhao also raised his helmet and knocked it with Bai Li's helmet: "Let's go."

As the two helmets touched lightly in the air, the two simulation warehouses started and lit up a layer of cold light.

Bai Li and Lu Zhao raised their thumbs at each other and entered the simulation warehouse one on the left and one on the right. The one who

was fighting against Lu Zhao in simulation today was not Bai Da Shao Ye or Li Li. Lu Zhao thought that he would have a chance to meet Major General Bai Li.

Once this thought came up, it was like hot oil in Lu Zhao's blood.

Bai Li was just like him, and his enthusiasm had not diminished after so many years.

Then Bai Li was heard saying to Situ: "Hey, remember to record a video of the battle later."

Situ: "?"

Situ: "Are you sick? What video do you want to record?"

Bai Li was quite proud: "I will post a blog later, and I have thought of the title - 'I flirted with my Omega today'!"

Lu Zhao sat in the simulation warehouse with a blank face.

Maybe Major General Bai Li can only live after Bai Li enters the simulation warehouse.

Before that, you can only face Bai Da Shao Ye directly.
